Guess who finally found time to swing in the hammock again and guess what she found????
You guessed it, another caterpillar spinning its cocoon in the blanket I pulled out of the chest to throw over me! (You may recall my first encounter I describe HERE.) Forgottenman just had to try to determine what kind of caterpillar it was, with no success. I then was driven to trying the same and the closest I could get to a possible solution was a silkworm. At one stage, their cocoon looks like this, only white. But the caterpillars look a bit alike and many years ago Neill James did import mulberry trees and started a silk industry here. I don’t believe it has survived, but perhaps one of the moths did! Forgottenman thinks I’m wrong and he’s probably right. Nonetheless, here is a silkworm photo I found online: 
And a silkworm.
Here is an excerpt from THIS story about Neill James, an American expat who came to Ajijic in 1943 and who had a huge influence here.

Ha…I think Coco ate that caterpillar. I should have put it over the wall.

I hope eating it did not disagree with Coco.
